TROY, Ala. – Troy indoor track and field is headed to the Birmingham CrossPlex Friday to participate in the UAB Blazer Invitational to kick off the 2019 portion of its campaign.
The field events will start off the meet at 9 a.m. Friday and conclude at 5 p.m., while the running events begin with the 5000m at 10:45 a.m. and wrap up with the 4x400m relay at 6:30 p.m. Along with in-state foe UAB, the meet will include Alabama, Auburn, Mississippi State, Tennessee, Georgia, Ole Miss, Miami and rival South Alabama.
The Trojans got off to a strong start at the BSC Panther Indoor Ice Breaker back in November, where the men's squad won the meet and the women's team finished as the runner-up.
Some players to watch include Tyree Reed – comes in with the top-seeded time in the 60m dash – and Kara Coulter – seeded fourth in the women's 5000m race. The 2017 Sun Belt Freshmen of the Year Jared Hayes and Precious Ogba are poised to make a splash in the men's and women's 300m dashes, respectively.
Junior Titus Sizemore, an NCAA East Preliminary competitor in his first two seasons, will aim to lead the men on the field side of things. After a Sun Belt Championship in the shot put last year, Indiya Summerville is set to take on stiff competition in the same event Friday.
